Meta is adding a deluxe version of its smart glasses this year, likely trying to keep its lead.

plans to include hand-gesture controls and a screen for displaying photos and apps

The screen is limited—just a corner of one lens—but v2 is already in the works with both lenses getting in on the party.

App focus sounds like pics + maps + notifications. Handy first gen mix for a heads up display.

Who knows how tariffs impact the timeline (and already hefty price tag), but on-lens display is the next big step and true test for AR/smart glasses (and I’m bullish).
